| The guy sitting at the table with me has been on his phone the ENTIRE time. I get that we are not in the quiet car- but he legit has been on work calls since we left NY. Just annoying. He has also kicked me twice and didn't apologize because he was on phone. |

| HA! I just might. He's still at it! I know he hates the show "Shark Tank". |

Can you stream "Shark Tank" on your phone and watch it?

| Then don’t be in the cafe car. That’s where I always say with my son on Amtrak because no one cared if he was quiet, and he could chatter away the entire train ride. |

| OP here! I posted that I am aware that I am not in the quiet car, so I get it. He's just annoying to me. |

| Maybe just be thankful that you don’t have to be on work calls on a Saturday? |

Do the Larry David fake call right next to him.

| If you care about this—the quiet car is for you! |

Sure thing. And I assume that if the chattering kid or lady watching Shark Tank got in the way of your call, you'd spring for a private car. |

| Make uncomfortable eye contact with him. |

| I commuted every day on Amtrak for 2 years. IMO the cafe car is the only place that’s allowed. |

| It's annoying, but it is even worse to be on the other end of those calls. I had a boss who would call me and try to conduct business from EVERYWHERE - home, car, bus, airport, train, whatever. I never felt like I had his full attention, there was always too much noise, he was distracted and distracting, and it was never productive. I think the jerk was just trying to make us feel like he was important or special because of how hard he was "working." |
